Pursuant to Chapter 19-18 of the North Dakota Century Code, no pesticide may be distributed or sold in North Dakota unless it is registered with the North Dakota Department of Agriculture. The Pesticide Registration program area manages the registration of over 9,000 pesticides, which include products for agricultural, industrial, and homeowner uses. If you have questions regarding which pesticides are currently registered in North Dakota, please contact the Department or search the Pesticide Registration Database.

In addition to these responsibilities, the Pesticide Registration program area issues Section 24(c) Special Local Needs (SLN) registrations and submits requests to EPA for Section 18 emergency exemptions. For general information on pesticide registrations and exemptions, please refer to the document "North Dakota Department of Agriculture Pesticide Registration and Exemption Guidelines".

"Note to pesticide registrants: Beginning July 1, 2005, manufacturers of minimum risk pesticides exempt from EPA registration Section 25(b) may receive an exemption from state pesticide registration. Please refer to FIFRA Section 25(b) Exemptions for further information on obtaining a registration exemption."
